By Keith Giffen, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (W) and Mitch Breitweiser, Scott Kolins, Ariel Olivetti and Kev Walker (A) Published by Marvel, 2007, $29.99 The Plot: In the storyline that fans forgot, the dread villain Annihilus returns from the Negative Zone (I think) and sends a wave of mean-looking robots across the universe to…
A lot of people would call 13 an unlucky number. Well, that’s how many books I picked up (plus Vol. 2 of Rocketo!), so did the weekly take go sour on superstitious numerological mumbo jumbo? Hardly. Some very fine comics found their way home, including a bunch more from Boom! Studios, a big conclusion to…
Let’s recap. Jimmy Olsen finds the Red Hood and questions him about events in the last issue. Red Hood directs him to the Joker. The Joker claims he’s never had a daughter. Killer Croc escapes in the last page and looks to be ready to go Sobek on the little guy. Elsewhile, Mary Marvel still…
By Alex Sheikman Published by Archaia Studios Press, 2006. $19.95 The Plot: “Far future…” Begins Robotika, the steampunk/samurai/western/sci fi tale. The world is reminiscent of that from the films A.I. or Bladerunner, a melting pot of androids and humans and bastards caught somewhere between the two. But forget the science; it doesn’t make any sense…
Stop missing me, dears, and dry those tears for The Doomino Effect has returned! After a one week hiatus brought upon by caring for Fiance Doom’s wisdom teeth extraction, Jim Doom is back and sort of ready to return to form in the only column I know of that sounds like “Dew minnow a fecked.”…
Book of the Week- Nova #2 Wait, is that a typo? Was Nova really the best book of the week? Man, this must have been a pretty disappointing week. Let’s just go through them all: Countdown #51- A decent start to DC’s next weekly series, but you can’t expect to blow the walls off the…
If there’s one thing I’ve come to expect from Robert Kirkman, it’s that whatever direction I think he’s going to take a story in is inevitably not the direction he goes with. I’m amazed by how many times I’ve been amazed by a choice Kirkman has made in one of his comics, especially in The…
Be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2 before you start reading. Unless you’re the type of person that only likes to read the last third of blog posts. That’s just weird… Jim Doom has been invited. Jim has entered the room. Jean-Claude Van Doom: hello Jim: I got booted. Did my last…
Another big week, with a solid dozen books under the belt. We’ve got another huge event beginning, loads of Nightwing, three new Boom! series and, dare I say it, the biggest surprise winner of first place ever (at least so far as I recall). So, if you’re looking for something to take your mind away…
Click here to read Part 1, then come on back and join the fun! Or just start reading now. It probably won’t make any sense either way. Jean-Claude Van Doom: Every important event was based on an incredible coincidence. Fin Fang Doom: Explain. JCVD: The alien symbiote crash lands next to Peter in the park….
